Exclusive Livingstone Island
Livingstone Island is a 10 minute riverboat tour from your hotel and is located in the middle of the Zambezi River, on the edge of the Victoria Falls, where the water thunders down the 100 meter drop. It is here that Dr Livingstone first looked over the edge of the falls into the gorge below, and wrote: 'scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight'.
The island is accessed by an 8 seater launch. Due to its unique nature, only 10 guests may visit and enjoy a choice of 4 island safaris, restricting this very exclusive island to only 40 visitors per day. For those who can afford this 5-star plus product, we highly recommend advanced reservations. Access to this unique island is seasonal and depends entirely on the water flow in the Zambezi River. It could very well be closed from February to mid-June.
Luxury River Cruises African Queen
Experience the spellbinding combination of the mighty Zambezi River and the extravagance and gracious hospitality of the African Queen riverboat cruise.

The twin-deck, 120 seater African Queen is stylish and beautifully handcrafted, with two bars decorated in period wicker furniture and steamer chairs. It is the epitome of a classic Zambezi cruise experience.
There are several cruises to choose from. Start your day with our refreshing mid-morning cruise or a lazy lunchtime glide along the Zambezi.

Angling and Fly-fishing
Rated by many anglers as the finest sporting and fighting fish in the world, the Tiger Fish is found in the waters of the upper Zambezi above the Victoria Falls. The best time for Tiger-fishing is from August to March when the water is warmer and the fish are more active.
The upper Zambezi is also home to 15 species of Bream, including the Pink Happy, Three-spot Bream and the Nembwe as well as Yellow Fish, Barbel, Bottlenose, Squeaker and Labeo. In total there are over 75 species of fish lurking in these waters. Angling in this part of the world consists of fly-fishing, spinning and bait-fishing. |
